My cousin came to visit me today with a sad story about his HQ coupe.
A few months back he went overseas to Greece for a few months holiday only to come back and find his Monaro on bricks with his Cragers gone, not only did they ripp the wheels they also ripped oout his stereo system with decked out boot boxed subbs, the trim was all ripped apart.. What they couldnt take they destroyed.
On a lucky note they didnt take the car cos it was in the backyard under the carport parked behind 2 cars and a roller door.
Cops said there not much they could do so now his up for a new set of rims so he can cruiz it this summer.
What do you do?

What do you do?? Have a quick cry and get really pissed off.
A mate of mine's brother years ago had his mags stolen but he had little engraving marks on then so he could identify them. One day he spotted them on another car and followed it back to where it lived. It was full of rough/dodgey buggers so he didn't confront them there and then. He knew someone who was always racing in demolition derbys so he got one of his demo cars drove to the house and rammed thier car in the side (It was parked on the roadside) and then took off!!!!

If somebody really wants to steal something from you, eventually they will. The best you can do is to make sure everything is properly insured.

Have a cry. Then burn their house down. (Sarcasm).
Feel sorry for your cousin. Unfortunately police can't do much when it comes to stolen wheels (or most things for that matter), because most of the time there is nothing identifiable about them.

Or graft an ugly <insert ugly colour here> hat on their head so you can shame them on the streets. No need to get barbaric cutting hands and all that. It's a shame most thieves get away with it

Without them inside. he could handle himself, but numbers usually prevail. He didn't get the wheels back, but he got a lot of satisfaction. He didn't have to worry about the police as the people with the stolen wheels wouldn't report it.With or without them inside?

Could always be a coinsidence but it makes you wonder though doesnt it..I had a lcgtr, 2600s and a few other bit's forsale on the forum about 4-6wk ago. Had 100 people ring, told 3 people where i live. Same week had a bloke at 2am standing at the front of my shed looking for petrol.
Matt the monaro wasnt insured it was only just finished after a 4 year rebuild, the car was only registerd for about 1 month before it was attacked... My cousin(Chris) had smashed it into a Ford XD 4 years ago and bent the chassis rails, lucky for HQs you can unbolt them and replace em easy as...
Ill get some pics and show you guys what it looked like before it was attacked by these ratfinks.

I don't think he was there for car parts or a car, but i will never ever know. It was only that my printer wouldn't work, and paperwork had to do done and we were still up.
2 yrs ago, a bloke rolled up at the farm and wanted to buy wifes car. Told her he built sheds. So she got him to build the 5bay shed sitting there for a grey fergie tractor. He had done one day, and rang and said he would he back. Went up a few mths later due to my broken leg. There was corrie sheet laying over about 5acres, he had put 2 screws per sheet. Went back to clean up the next weekend and found tractor missing, only 3bays were bulit and and not a strait post . Other 2bays missing plus it's corrie. Went to the police, and said the tractor and shed are missing. Cop told me, who cares. I told him to get f@#ked and a few other things. And told the cop, i would bash this bloke, then sort it out in court. Cop told me to get out. Wife was not happy with me or the cop at all. But after i left, the cop did pull the phone book out and point him out, and said this is the bloke i think, to the wife. Aren't we so luck we have good honest police who care.
